Title: Methods for improving crop yield
Inventor: SHEN ZHICHENG
IPC: C07K14/415
Filed: 2012-12-20
Abstract: Compositions and methods for increasing plant growth and yield are provided. Compositions comprise the high yield gene TEL, promoters and enhancers to increase the expression of a TEL gene in a plant of interest. By enhancing the expression of at least one TEL gene in a plant, an improvement in plant growth and yield is achieved, resulting in an increase in crop yield in a field planted with such plants. A plant of interest may be transformed with a DNA construct comprising a promoter that is capable of driving expression in the plant operably linked to a coding sequence for a TEL gene. The DNA construct may comprise at least on enhancer that acts to increase expression of the TEL coding sequence. A promoter or enhancer can be inserted into the genome of the plant of interest at a site that increases the expression of the endogenous TEL coding sequence in the plant.

Inventor: STEVENSON GARY L
IPC: C02F1/46
Filed: 2013-05-17
Abstract: A water reclamation system is composed of a high-capacity input pump connected to an ionizer, which dissociates solid or biological particles from the water. After leaving the ionizer, the fluid stream is run through staged filter systems progressively filtering the solids from the water, which is then fed to a reverse osmosis system for further filtration. Rejected water is diverted to a series of thermal units which cause the rejected water to flash into steam which is returned to the cleaned water stream of the reverse osmosis unit for discharge or further use; the remaining water, having the remaining solids and biological materials, is sent to a fracture unit where it is incinerated at an elevated temperature. The system is designed to provide parallel backups at each part of the process allowing cleaning to take place continuously while the other parallel system is operating.

Title: Quantum communications system with integrated photonic devices
Inventor: NORDHOLT JANE ELIZABETH
IPC: H04B10/70
Filed: 2013-08-16
Abstract: Security is increased in quantum communication (QC) systems lacking a true single-photon laser source by encoding a transmitted optical signal with two or more decoy-states. A variable attenuator or amplitude modulator randomly imposes average photon values onto the optical signal based on data input and the predetermined decoy-states. By measuring and comparing photon distributions for a received QC signal, a single -photon transmittance is estimated. Fiber birefringence is compensated by applying polarization modulation. A transmitter can be configured to transmit in conjugate polarization bases whose states of polarization (SOPs) can be represented as equidistant points on a great circle on the Poincaré sphere so that the received SOPs are mapped to equidistant points on a great circle and routed to corresponding detectors. Transmitters are implemented in quantum communication cards and can be assembled from micro-optical components, or transmitter components can be fabricated as part of a monolithic or hybrid chip- scale circuit.
